Acute / Chronic Pain
All-Natural, Drug-Free Acute and Chronic Pain Relief
Living with pain can affect every area of your life. Acute and chronic pain conditions can contribute to anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, lack of interest in hobbies or activities, weight gain, and difficulty connecting with friends and family. At Wildflower Acupuncture, we have a unique understanding of the chronic pain experience and want to help you get back to doing the things you love. We use a highly integrative approach with a combination of acupuncture, electroacupuncture, cupping, frequency specific microcurrent, energetic bodywork, and infrared and LED light therapies. We specialize in treating low back pain, sciatica, neck pain, migraines, tmj, neuropathy, and more.
Understanding the Root Cause of Your Pain
With alternative and integrative healing therapies, our goal is to understand the underlying cause of your pain, rather than relying on over the counter or prescription medications to mask your symptoms. We take the time to work through your medical history, and ask questions about your lifestyle, past treatments, home and work environments, and health goals. We consider orthopedic and structural issues as well as explore psycho-emotional stressors that might be contributing to your pain condition. Acupuncture, with its unique ability to release both structurally and psycho-emotionally rooted pain, provides a natural and truly holistic therapy option in situations where conventional therapies fall short. Our therapies provide the missing link to help retrain the brain/ body connection and break patterns of chronic pain. When we design your treatment plan, it will be highly personalized to address the multidimensional origins of your pain so that you can find lasting relief and get back to living your best life.
How Does Acupuncture Help with Acute and Chronic Pain?
Acupuncture is a safe and effective holistic treatment option that has been shown to increase blood circulation, decrease inflammation,, relieve muscle tension, and reduce nerve compression, to help restore flexibility, mobility, range of motion, and function. Acupuncture operates through a multifaceted mechanism that engages the body's neurophysiological and biochemical pathways. When fine needles are inserted into the body, they stimulate sensory nerves, which in turn activate various parts of the central nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord. This stimulation triggers the release of neurotransmitters such as endorphins, which are natural pain-relieving substances, as well as other neurochemicals involved in regulating pain perception, such as serotonin and norepinephrine. Acupuncture also promotes the release of natural compounds, like adenosine, which plays a role in reducing inflammation and enhancing blood flow. And, by modulating the balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, acupuncture can also promote deep relaxation to reduce muscle tension and help break through chronic pain patterns. Recent research also suggests that acupuncture may activate certain cells, like fibroblasts, which play a crucial role in tissue repair and remodeling. Stimulation of these cells with acupuncture may help trigger a cascade of biochemical signals that promote tissue healing and regeneration.
What is Acupuncture?
Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture is an integrative healing therapy that uses fine, single use, sterile needles to stimulate or release specific acupuncture points on the body. Our gentle and effective acupuncture techniques promote deep relaxation and help stimulate the release of the body’s natural pain relieving neurotransmitters. Acupunctures also helps decrease systemic inflammation and increase blood circulation to accelerate tissue and nerve regeneration and healing. Acupuncture has been widely used for over 2,000 years , and is a drug-free, low-risk, minimally invasive alternative to conventional western medical treatment options.
